The Shorty Awards

Appalling and a disgrace - yes that is how I'd characterise the US Supreme Court decision on the Perry (Proposition 8) YouTube video but it's also how people might characterise this shameful begging of votes. Seeing as The Times Higher has jumped in and asked for votes, I feel I can do to.

This is the second Shorties and according to the site: 'The Shorty Awards honor the best people and organizations on Twitter. These unique awards are for the Twitter community, by the Twitter community. Online voting is public and democratic, culminating in an awards ceremony that recognizes the winners in 27 official categories as well as those in brand new crowd-sourced ones.'
